As for the topic I think it's pretty obvious XBC3 would be in development regardless of rumours as Monolith have four teams (two in Tokyo, Kyoto and Nakameguro), Team 1 did XBC Remake and helping out with BOWT sequel, Kyoto helped with ACNH, Team 3 and 4 which were newly opened back in 2018 with one being relocated are on unknown projects.
Team 1 aka Production Team 1 were working on a new separate project at the same time on XBC Remake we know this from Takahashi himself as he said so in an interview regarding the former's development, this means the new IP is likely handled by one of the two new studios they created.
